Santa Hat Dog Sweatshirt: Embroidered Christmas Dog Portrait from Your Photo

The Santa Hat Dog Sweatshirt carries your dog’s portrait, embroidered from your photo in clean, outlined stitches, wearing a red Santa hat, on the left chest or the center of the chest. Leave off the hat for a portrait you can wear all year, add a short line of text under it, and finish the sleeve with a name and a heart.

What is a Santa hat dog sweatshirt?

A Santa hat dog sweatshirt is a sweatshirt embroidered with a portrait of your own dog wearing a Santa hat, made from the photo you send. Every piece is made to order and includes:

• Your dog’s portrait: the face, fur colors, markings and expression from your photo, drawn with a clean outline.
• A Santa hat, or none: a red-and-white Santa hat for the holidays, or the portrait alone.
• Text under the portrait, optional: a name, a word or a date, up to 20 characters.
• 100% real high-density embroidery: the portrait is stitched in thread, nothing is printed.

How do you personalize the sweatshirt?

To personalize the sweatshirt, follow 5 steps:

1. Choose the garment, color and size: crewneck sweatshirt, T-shirt, hoodie or quarter zip.
2. Choose Santa hat or no hat for the portrait.
3. Choose the position: left chest, as in the photos, or center chest for a larger portrait.
4. Add text under the portrait if you want it, or leave it blank.
5. Upload one clear photo of your dog, front-facing with the whole face visible.

You can also add a name or a word and one of 12 icons, such as a heart or a paw print, on the left or right sleeve for $5, in one of 6 fonts and 24 thread colors.

How much does it cost?

The Santa hat dog sweatshirt costs $53.85 on a crewneck sweatshirt, for one dog. The price depends on the garment:

• Garment: crewneck sweatshirt $53.85 (sizes S to 5XL), T-shirt $43, hoodie $63, quarter zip $59.
• Sleeve embroidery: $5, optional.

The Santa hat, the position, the text under the portrait and the design proof are included in the price.

Which garment color should you choose?

The outlined portrait shows on light and dark colors alike, as the sweatshirts in the photos show. Choose a color that contrasts with your dog’s coat: a black dog stands out on Sand, Light Blue or Light Pink, and a cream or golden dog on Black, Navy or Maroon. Personalized pieces are not eligible for size exchanges, so check the size guide before you order.

When will your sweatshirt arrive?

Your sweatshirt arrives 3–8 business days after you approve your free design proof (U.S. delivery). We email the proof within 1–2 business days of your order; reply to approve it or ask for changes, and edits are unlimited. For delivery by Christmas Day, order by December 8 in the U.S. or by November 23 outside the U.S., and approve your proof quickly.

Is this sweatshirt a good Christmas gift?

Yes. A sweatshirt with a dog’s own portrait is a personal Christmas gift for a dog mom or a dog dad, and the no-hat option keeps it in rotation long after the holidays. For several pets in holiday hats on one sweatshirt, see the custom dog Christmas sweatshirt, or browse all dog Christmas sweatshirts.

How should you wash an embroidered sweatshirt?

To keep the portrait bright and flat, follow 4 steps:

1. Turn the sweatshirt inside out before washing.
2. Wash it cold on a gentle cycle.
3. Tumble dry low or hang it to dry.
4. Iron on the reverse side, never directly on the embroidery.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work for cats?

Yes. Upload a clear photo of your cat and the portrait is drawn the same way.

Can I see the design before it is stitched?

Yes. We email a free digital proof within 1–2 business days, and nothing is stitched until you approve it.
